20 minutes ago, Immanuel Quickley (elbow) was questionable to suit up in tonight’s contest against the Bucks. Now, Quickley is dealing with a partial UCL tear and he’s going to miss at least a week. It’s unfortunate news for a Raptors team that seemingly can not stay healthy in 2024-25.
Fortunately for us, we already have a blueprint for how to deal with a Quickley absence. Let’s dive in.

PG/SG Davion Mitchell, Toronto Raptors at Milwaukee Bucks, $5,200
The case for Mitchell’s viability is pretty clear-cut. In his eight prior starts this season, Mitchell is averaging 10.3 points and 6.8 assists in 30.3 minutes. In the final six starts Mitchell made before Quickley returned to the lineup this past weekend against the Clippers, the former lottery pick produced 29.3 FPTS per game. The Raptors will surely lean on RJ Barrett ($8,300) and Jamal Shead ($3,600) to help run the offense, but Mitchell is now one of the team’s main playmakers — as evidenced by his 29.3% assist rate with Quickley and Scottie Barnes (eye) off the court this season. Considering Mitchell’s price tag almost reached $6K last week, he’s even at a bit of a discount this evening.
